IMPRQVEMENT iN PADS FOR CORSETS.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent'. and making part o f the same.

To .all whom 'it may concernI Beit known that LMrsMARYP.R.T1I.Tox, of Tren-v ton, in tbe county of Mercer and State of N ew J ersey,. have invented anew and useful Improvement in Pads forV Corset; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof', which will y elmble others4 skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the -accom pan yin g dra-w ling forming part of this specification. I

lhis invention relates to a' newand useful improve# p ment in an attachment to ladicsco'rsct-s for supplying I' any natural deficiency or improving the figure and y It consists in'a circular" projection attached to the kupper portion of the ordinary corset, constructed and.

' supported as hereinafter more fully4 described. i f In the accompanying drawingbyfmeans of stays quilted in or fastenedin any suitabie'manner` horizontally or lengthwise of the attachmcut.f

The form of the attachment is seen in fig. 2, where a portion is broken away to show the stays, of which 4there may be more or less in number.

C-C are pads, which maybe fastened either to the corset or to the ends of the attachment. The form of' the latter is such that when its en'ds rest on the pads the attachment will 'bow outward from the top of the corset, as seen in fig. 2, without bearing .upon or coming in contact with the breasts or body of tbe wearer. An open space is thusleft between the attachment a-nd t he`cors`et, allowing of free ventilation and preventing the" injurious consequences arising from padswith pressure upon Athe person of ,the wearer.

The attachment is connected with the corset by means of straps or vloops and buttons, as seen at D, or

in any other suitable and convenient manner.

liar-'ing thus described my invention,

l claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- A circular projecting fabric, B, and quilted stays or pads C, combined-as described, with the corset A, lto form a bust which will not pi'essupon the body,

' but leave a Ventilating-space between it and the bosoin of the wearer.
